ITV fans in stitches as they point out epic social media blunder after soap legend’s exit
SOAP fans have been left in stitches after spotting an epic social media blunder following a legend’s exit.
Coronation Street and Emmerdale viewers were left doing a double-take on social media on Friday night.
Lisa George officially bowed out of her role as Beth Tinker after 13 years on the cobbles.
But after her final scenes, the Emmerdale X account accidentally posted Lisa’s goodbye to its followers.
It left both Corrie and Emmerdale fans amused as they flooded the now-deleted post with hilarious replies.
One said: “Forgot to switch accounts lol.”
A second wrote: “Underworld has moved to the Dales?”
“I didn’t know Lisa George was on Emmerdale,” replied a third.
While a fourth commented: “Wrong account luv!”
The Sun had revealed earlier this year how the actress, 51, decided to quit the ITV soap.
The factory worker had discovered Kit’s dodgy policeman ways and had threatened to expose him if he didn’t cut her back in on the back street clothes selling deal.
In response, Kit got Craig drunk and encouraged him to spill his secrets on his criminal activities.
He then used this information threaten Beth that her son’s career would be over if she ever released the video she had of Kit engaging with the clothes-selling crook.
